What is the booster shot for my adopted 8-month-old indoor cat?

Question

I recently adopted an 8 month old male cat from my local shelter, he has had all his shots, is micro chipped and had an exit exam from their vet on the day I adopted him. They mentioned something about a booster shot in about three weeks that will be needed. He will be an indoor only cat with no other cats currently in residence. What is this booster for? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is the FVRCP vaccine, which stands for Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calici virus and Panleukopenia. I highly recommend finishing his kitten vaccine series. These viruses can cling to you and you can give them to him or if you ever get another cat he will be at risk. The first 2 viruses are respiratory viruses and the last one is the feline version of parvo and cats die from panleukopenia. I hope this helps and I wish you and Sherlock the best!
